Have you ever heard a young hummingbird's peep?

It's a cloudy, windy day in SoCal. I think this little hummer was just learning how to make its wings work. It landed near me and stayed for several minutes. The dad came by for encouragement but I couldn't get him in the frame. Turn on volume to hear its tiny peep despite the wind. It flies off at the end. #birds #urbanWildlife

A tiny hummingbird in a garden surrounded by tiny sunflower like blooms of Rudbeckia triloba. The bird is perched on a small stem about a foot above the ground. Its colors are speckled browns, grays and greens.
